what a girl to do

dear neglected space,

i am so stressed right now because i realise i have tonnes of work to do BUT i just dont have the drive to do anything but think of ice cream, love and clothes.

damn it.

a lot like love

we went to a farmer's market at 75 Loewen Rd in Dempsey last saturday after reading a recommendation on Chic Magazine. researched a little online about the farmer's market that night and decided to head down the next morning.

the market opens at 8.30am and closes at 2pm according to online source. so i got up bright and early on a saturday morning while baby woke up late! =P haha when it comes to food i'll be up =P

anyway, it's pretty deep inside Dempsey and it's kinda difficult to get there if u dont have a car. lucky for us, we have one. at first we tot the place will be filled with expats, but nah there was a balance of both us and expats. the stalls were mostly mended by ang-mohs, even the veg counter. rare sight in Singapore i must say.

re-enactment of the farmer's market i use to love going to every sunday in Germany. Those markets in Europe is probably 20times bigger then the one we went to. they were clean and not smelly compared to the upgraded uwet markets we have in Singapore.

so in Loewen rd, they had stalls which sold premium olive oil, chocolates, dried products, cakes and pastries, bread, wines, english beer and cider, cheese, salami, a bbq counter, and of course my favourite paella station! yummmmmy!

heard the paella is good and that's the primary reason why we decided to give it a go at the market, kinda pricey at $10 per box, but it was all worth it. i think we bought like $40 worth of paella, and i must say it's a must-try. The paella is definitely better then those we had in Marche and Ma Maison, and comparable to those we ate in Barcelona! heavenly! cooked by a Spanish lady, which explains to authenticity, the ingredients were so fresh and their not stingy about how much prawn, sotong they give u. thumbs up!

and we had a bbq bacon burger to share as well, love the sesame bun hehe. but still cant compare to yummy paella! oops =X  

 it's kinda like a family affair over there, with kids running around and drawing all over on the floor as there were chalks laying about everywhere, the people there are very friendly and almost everything can be sampled! haha singaporean...

mid autumn 2

well, ang decided maybe it's time we have a BBQ together, and cad kindly hosted the BBQ at his house.
and as usual when u put 10 hungry people together, u'll expect a lot a lot a lot of FOOOOOD, so much that we couldnt finish again, as usual.

and the portobello mushroom with cheese is created by urs truely! hehe we had like sausages, crabsticks(yummy) 40 chicken wings, garlic bread and seafood plus cad's yummy pork lard! and we all agreed that this kinda bbq should only happen like once in a while if not we'll all have clogged up arteries from all the prok lard in our body =P

mid autumn

have been busy doing much about nothing all mid sem break. havent been catching up with a lot of school work and project, not to mention dissertation =( so many things to do with so little time, what am i to do.

despite all, we had a wonderful mooncake festival tgt, baby n i, and with the rest of the lycans.

an early mooncake festival, we went Clarke Quay after moviemob to see all the wonderful bright colourful lights.

and just nice, the mid-autumn festival at clarke quay coincided with the taiwan food fare! but the sad thing was we were soooo full and only managed to try 1 of it. Smelly TOFU! *covers nose* im quite impress with the array of taiwanese food selection. the stall vendors are also from Taiwan, authentic huh. anyway, not a big fan of smelly tofu, think that it's really stinky after u eat it, and the smell stays in the mouth.
